[C320-list] Fridge Usage

[Colin Evans]

Thanks for the input.  I`ve had some good response BUT I still can`t work
out why the batteries are not lasting. They show the green light which
indicates that they are in good condition and charged.  I thought the fridge
was on for too long but other fridges seem to run the same time.  I think
I`ll try re-gassing and see if it cuts down on run time. By improving
efficiency.
Could it be the thermostat ?
How do I check the usage?

It might need a charge.  I installed a new evaporator and compressor this
year, and it's never needed to be set beyond 1 (the warmest setting).  At
that level it frosts the evaporator and keeps the icebox at 45 degrees with
no problem.

No the freezer compartment does not freeze but the beer is cold and all food
is fresh enough.
Could it need re-gassing

The cycling seems about what mine does except mine is set to 6 or 7, we've
gone for days without draining a battery however.  Is it getting cold enough

to form ice on the freezer unit ?

I have no idea but I sure want to follow this thread as I expect I will be
in the same spot shortly.
